After the April 9, 1942, U.S. surrender of the Bataan Peninsula on the main Philippine island of Luzon to the Japanese during World War II (1939-45), the approximately 75,000 Filipino and American troops on Bataan were forced to make an arduous 65-mile march to prison camps.

When Bataan fell in April 1942, most of US and Filipino soldiers who surrendered to the Japanese <u>had to participate in the death march</u>. It was one of the worst war crimes committed during the Second World War by the Japanese army. This march estimated had made between 10,000 and 20,000 dead out of a total of 70,000 to 85,000 prisoners, mostly they were Filipinos.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Since 1941, Japan declared war on the allies and sent their armies to conquer the colonies that they possessed in South East Asia such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Singapore. In the Philippines, the Americans and the local army managed to resist the invasion for 4 months, but on April 9, 1942, they had to capitulate to the power of Japan.

After this defeat, the Japanese forced all these men to walk day and night for 97 km, to reach the concentration camp that they had built for them. Along the way, they beat and murdered anyone who looked weak or wanted to take a break. This barbarity continued in the concentration camp where many other people died.

The Americans regained control of Japan in 1944, and Japanese military officials who organized the criminal march were tried by a Philippine court and sentenced to death.

Dear Friend

Coming into the United States as an immigrant from any part of the world, especially during the 1900´s is a real hassle and nothing like it was made out to be. To begin with, my expectations on what I would find and how my life would develop once I arrived here in New York deflated. Having come from Eastern Europe, and having had no money because of the depression and famine that hit Europe during the 1890´s, I was led to believe that once I arrived in America my life would change. I was approached then by a <em>Padrone, </em>recruiting agents from American companies that offer you jobs and a new chance in America and they offered me the world. But when I arrived, the reality was something entirely different. Because I am poor and couldn´t afford passage neither on first or second class, I was taken to the immigration port at Ellis Island, nothing more than a shack where millions of immigrants come every day. I was then detained for 4 hours while they asked me 29 questions, among which were, if I had family in America and if I had a job. But I was let go when they saw that I was no threat to them and their country. Because I was alone, I went out into the streets of New York and was faced with the stark reality. America was not as it was painted. I was met with unpaved roads, dirt, poverty, and also a lot of inequality between the poor and the rich of the city. Lots of factories and grime lined the small roads. Finally, I was found by a group of our fellow Eastern European brothers and they took me to their neighborhood. They have formed into clusters depending on their nationalities and state of life.

So prepare my friend, prepare well. America is a new chance at a good life, but it will be really hard to achieve and you must be ready for it.

Should the Natives have been forced into assimilation, explain?

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Many American leaders in the 1870s and 1880s thought that Indians should be encouraged or even forced to assimilate. That means they wanted Indians to leave their tribes and ways of life, and instead adopt American ways of life.

(Assimilation means to blend into a different culture.)
